thanks, me too, I saw that tire a few years ago and knew I would eventually put a set on a project.

 

It's sure coming along nicely. How many inches did you extend the wheel houses to cover the tires? Did you happen to get the measurement width from rotor to rotor face?

 

3 1/2 inches. No not yet the front wheels are still on

 

Are you using the lincom master cylinder for your project? I intend on using my factory Lincoln mc. Just wondering what your thoughts were.

 

no it is a little big, could work though, I ordered a 7 inch dual diaphragm booster

 

one wheel tub widened 3 1/2 and raised 1 1/2 inches. (what a pain) also cut the cypress bed wood

 

Bed floor looks great. Are u still making the center section to raise up?.

 

yes the center will raise up

 

im trying to order my wheels and cant seem to find 18x8 boss 338 with a 6 inch back space? am I incorrect on this size for the front? what size have you came up with. I realize your not running the crown vic front end.

 

I don't have my front sheet metal back on yet so I do not have a wheel width
picked out, but the torq thrust M wheels I have come in 7, 8 and 9 inch widths so I figured I could make one work
you may have to get custom made wheels with the crown vic, I also noticed there were more choices with 17 inch wheels

 

I was afraid u would say that. Guess using a 17 won't be so bad . Compared to the cost of custom made wheels. Thanks for the help.

 

the gray wheels I had on it before are 17's so you can get an idea

 

todays update, the front air suspension is in, the truck will lay the frame on the ground but also will have 9 inches of clearance at the rockers when in the full up position.

 

looking good

 

trying to decide on rear bumper or roll pan. here is a picture of he rear bumper mocked up, I would have to modify the brackets to get it there. I will be running center exhaust. I am not sure I like the pipes under the bumper. If I use a roll pan I would relocate the license plate to the left and have the pipes coming thru the roll pan.
